Can you explain in your own words what this quote is trying to say? This was a question asked in one of my humanities classes and it really got me thinking so I want to see what you guys have to say about it.

I mean, consider. You have men in a position of power and authority, who are older and who exude the "older man" thing that a lot of young chicks seem to go nuts for. They are surrounded by nubile young women who are at the more sexual age their ever likely to be, which also happens to be an age where they're least likely to be in a committed relationship. You mix these two, and you've got a recipe for ssssssssssssssssex.

On the other side of things, you've got a lot of female professors moving into middle age and perhaps doubting that they are as attractive as they used to be - perhaps feeling a loss of self esteem. What better way to re-affirm themselves than to have some young guy service them? Young men are known to be more... appreciative of older women than men their own age. And the guys themselves are just horny animals, so we need not find much motivation from their perspective. :p

It's odd to think about, but I'm beginning to think that this must be a fairly regular occurrance, with both male and female profs. And I actually don't think there's much wrong with it, though of course it would be nice if it were only students who were not in their classes, for the sake of unbiased marking.]]> http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/2708/charity-tax-credit Thu, 01 Nov 2007 00:50:56 +0000 yung44 2708@/forum/discussions
can someone demonstrate an example.

(say, I am donating $300 this year, I am earning $50000 a year, how does that gonna benefit me in terms of tax credit when I have to do my taxes in a few months? what happens if I donate more/less?)

Thanks.]]> http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/2707/vote-for-our-co-op-contest-video Wed, 31 Oct 2007 21:40:29 +0000 mtn3 2707@/forum/discussions

:teeth:]]> http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/2427/why-i-don-t-vote-and-other-people-shouldn-t-either Wed, 15 Aug 2007 22:22:51 +0000 Magnificent_Bastard 2427@/forum/discussions
My decision to not vote, and my stance on why other people shouldn’t vote, seems to go against everything that stands for goodness and order in this society. Hell, MuchMusic even runs ads around federal elections telling young adults to get out and vote if they have the chance. So with all of this media and personal hype around casting my life-changing vote, why do I still choose not to?

First let me get one thing straight. My choice of not voting does not equate to the fact that I don’t care. Now, to be completely frank, yes, that’s part of it, but not all of it. Of course I care about my own well-being and all of that shit, but there’s a lot more to it. The main reason I don’t vote is because I don’t know enough about politics. I don’t research enough into the campaigns, or what so-and-so’s stance on immigration is, or whatnot, because I have little to no interest in it. It doesn’t mean I don’t care about the outcome, but I feel I don’t have enough information (or rather, I don’t care enough to go out and gather enough information) to sway myself in a particular direction.

As a result, all I ever see are campaign ads on TV telling me this guy will do this for me, and a few seconds later, the next opposing dude telling me that first dude is a douchebag. And of course, whatever I hear from the news. Is this enough for me to make a firm decision as to who should run this wonderful nation of ours? I certainly don’t think so. Why? Because campaign ads are full of propaganda and partiality (what you’d expect from people who will tell you anything to get your vote), and news will always have some sort of political bias underpinning what gets reported. So with this enormous heap of bullshit, we’re all supposed to just pick our favorite flavour, and go on with our lives.

Sure, my vote “counts” in terms of it being…well…counted in the number of votes for somebody, but did I make my decision based on everything that needs to be known, or did I just pick the guy whose commercials I saw the most frequently. And this doesn’t just stop at me. I’m sure hundreds of thousands of people in Canada vote based just on this. They’ll hear one guy say he’ll lower taxes and create more jobs. “Well, that sounds amazing! He’s got my vote!” And it ends at that. Personally, I don’t think even 50% of the people in Canada should be voting, based on the premise that they know fuck-all about politics and are just won over with glossed-over statements about how ideal things will be if so-and-so is elected.

Politics is definitely not rocket science, but it’s quite convoluted in many ways. And just in the same way I don’t want to put my life in the hands of some idiot to give me brain surgery, I don’t want a bunch of morons deciding who should be running the country based on nothing but misleading news sources and gut instinct. So please, when election time comes around again and again, I urge my fellow Canadians to think about whether they know all the facts before stepping into that voting booth. I urge you all to stop voting. Besides, in the grand scheme of things, does it really matter anyway?]]> http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/2657/should-prostitution-be-legalized Wed, 17 Oct 2007 00:08:11 +0000 Morro 2657@/forum/discussions
My opinion: yes. A characteristically long-winded explanation of this opinion will follow after a few people have been able to get their ideas out. :)]]>
